Shamlin exposes the hidden truths behind the energy bills we pay each month. While the energy industry and power companies are often blamed for high bills, Shamlin argues that the real issue lies in the way homes are designed and built. This book challenges the common belief that high energy demand is inevitable and takes a deep dive into how inefficiencies in construction and building design lead to unnecessary energy waste.<\/p><p>With over a decade of research and development, Shamlin demonstrates that homes can be built to use significantly less energy, <strong>up to 70% less<\/strong><b>,<\/b> without sacrificing comfort or affordability. This isn\u2019t just about upgrading a home\u2019s insulation or installing a smart thermostat; it\u2019s about a complete shift in how we build, design, and live in our homes. <em>The Clean Standard<\/em> provides a roadmap to reduce your energy consumption, lower your bills, and embrace a sustainable, energy-efficient lifestyle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0d425ec

Shamlin is an expert in energy-efficient residential construction and the founder of CLEANhomes. His research into home performance began over a decade ago with the goal of designing homes that used 50% less energy. Through years of work, he developed the CLEANhomes Standard, which reduces energy bills by up to 75-96%. The Clean Standard is his way of sharing this knowledge with the world, offering readers a practical guide to creating homes that not only save money but also help reduce our collective carbon footprint. Shamlin&#8217;s passion for building sustainable homes drives his mission to change the way we think about energy use in the home.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home About The Book The Clean Standard is more than just a book, it&#8217;s a call to action for homeowners, builders, and energy-conscious individuals who are ready to rethink how we live in and build our homes.
